Wacky Signs

As I mentioned on my home blog, I have travelled to 83 different countries over my lifetime. I am now busy digitalising the thousands of slides and photos I took during these adventures, and am therefore taking the opportunity to share with you some of the unusual signs I photographed overseas. This is a work in progress, so feel free to come back every few months to discover what new sign has been added.

﻿﻿﻿

India (1980). On Jaipur-Delhi Road

Gruen, Texas, 2011 (pronounced "green")

﻿﻿﻿ ﻿﻿ They tell it like it is in India. We saw signs like this everywhere.

Halls Creek, Western Australia (1997)

﻿﻿﻿

﻿

India (1980). Sawal Man Singh II Museum, Jaipur

They tell it like it is in the Kimberleys, too.

﻿

﻿

Levuka, Fiji (1979)

﻿

Papua New Guinea (1983)

﻿
﻿

PNG (1983). Baiyer River Sanctuary

(Humans and other mammals keep right.)

﻿﻿

Illinois (2006)

﻿ ( Above) We were lost when we found this roadstop.

﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

Blake's Café,
McQueeney, Texas (2006)

Bali, 1981

(Above) Typical of Balinese temples. I have it on good authority that tourists do not always comply.

(Left) Considering the draconian anti-littering laws in Singapore, I doubt if the sign was necessary.
